Musk is a narcissistic idiot. Yes, I know you knew, but I had to say it anyway.
elon musk's wealth is entirely based on the merit of his ideas, but the like count on his posts is just a product of the algorithm
Elon Musk appears to be suggesting that Sam Altman is somehow gaming Twitter, the company that Elon Musk owns

Take a moment to look up Curtis Yarvin. Trump is a disposable piece of a Silicon Valley machine. Yarvin, Thiel, and company would actually love for Trump to implode. His age and greed are obstacles to a federal government with a ceo and a board instead of a president. Vance is the villain to watch.

In addition to its expanding violence throughout the entire region, the Israeli military is still slaughtering Palestinians in Gaza — and it's counting on all of us to be too distracted to pay attention. We refuse to look away.

It seems insane that oil prices are dropping as Iran is set to implode, or to explode all its neighbours.
I get it that it has carefully calibrated its response, but a cornered rat can put up a hell of a fight.

AI is damn good at cooking up simple python scripts. I can't believe that I can now get co-pilot to finish my statements when I program using vi, an editor which is past retirement age.

The Musk and Trump show makes great train-crashing viewing. I guess one day there will be a comedy series based on the relationship between those two clowns.
It's just a great pity that real people will suffer while this bad reality show is in progress.

This guy stole $10 million from the employees of his nursing home to buy himself a luxury yacht and Cartier watches. He PLED GUILTY.
And because his Mom gave Trump $1 million, he just got a pardon.

The current Israeli government is behaving badly. It no longer has the support of its own people. Europe needs to speak with a single voice in this matter.
